Sunrise/ sunset + Hetken tie on kevyt (cover)

Installation; video projection (DVD, 1 min loop), sound (DVD, 3:33 min), headphones

Karo Szmit 2012

I developed these works during an 2 month artist residency in Tampere, Finland, themed „The city as a source of creativity“.

The video loop Sunrise/ sunset is composed of a sequence of pictures which simulate a sunrise and a sunset. The pictures are recordings of the design on public busses in Tampere. I noticed slight differences in the depiction of a sea view – changing positions of the sun, clouds and birds – depending on different bus types.

For the accompanying sound installation Hetken tie on kevyt (cover) (”For a moment the road is light”) I recorded myself singing an a-capella version of a Finnish pop song which was on heavy airplay during my stay in Tampere. I met the challenge to interpret the slow and solemn song as well as I could, since I am fascinated by the Finnish language, while not able to speak it. My aim was also to join the bulk of private and professional cover versions on Youtube.
